Thought Blog: The Collective (2/17/2026)

 Hey, Everyone! Donovin here. I know it's been a while but I wanted to get back to adding context to my written blog (this website). It's been 5 years since I last posted anything on here. That changes today. You will see notes from all my Thought Blogs, that are my YouTube channel and just exclusively for this page. In thought of Black History Month, I will share this Thought Blog; The Collective  Intro February can be tricky. Any time we highlight history can be tricky. Because when we acknowledge someone’s contribution to humanity… we sometimes over-amplify their race. And slowly, without realizing it— Race becomes the focus. More than the impact. More than the innovation. More than the faith that sustained them. Now hear me clearly: Black history matters. Black excellence matters. Black resilience matters. But I want to talk about something deeper. About contribution. About humility. About healing. About who we are before God. Because before we ...

THOUGHT: To Be Continued

  Hello, Everyone.  donovin  here, with today's thought:  To Be Continued Can you believe it? We are on the edge of 2021 This weekend; many people will be looking at the ball drop. Some people are waiting for the New Year to DO or BE something new, While others are…(pause) Don’t you love …or hate when you’re watching a movie, a show or reading something and you’re hit with a cliffhanger? Your mind might start racing with scenarios of how the character will survive. You are hoping for the next episode or book will answer your questions, but in the back of your mind, you know it can not end like that. There is a way.   I think how that is the same with our lives. We are characters making decisions, acting out the scenes in front of invisible cameras recording our life. Who is watching? I believe God is watching everyday He blesses us with. How we’ll react to circumstances that come our way and what conclusions we make going forward. I also think our family...

Random THOUGHT: Streaming Control

  Random THOUGHT: Streaming Control  In my  Last Random Thought , I talked about Marvel Movies, and how I thought those movies have been used to increase our patience. Today, I wanted to talk about another group of people messing with my patience. When I was a kid, waiting until the nest week to watch the next episode of a TV show was normal. Fast forward to now, there are many streaming networks that are popular, addictive and competitive, with everybody and their momma watching one. Which brings me to my thought. Like it was when I was a kid, the “network” had the control. I had to wait until the next week to see the next episode. When streaming first came out, we got spoiled. You were able to watch a whole season of a show in a day if you wanted. Some cases, that is still an option. But…I noticed on a lot of new shows, some networks are milking our patience like the old TV networks did. We have to wait a week to see the next episode. Why is like this with certain sho...

THOUGHT: Thoughts of Fear, Steps of Faith

Hello, Everyone.  donovin  here, with today's thought: Thoughts of Fear, Steps of Faith      It was a challenging weekend. I didn’t get to film on my regular schedule, winter weather showed itself as I had to use the snowblower and I was taking care of sick people.  Thoughts of fear popped up.. Will this family member get better health wise? Is this a cold or corona? How am I going to be consistent with this and that coming up? Am I too old to try to change for the better now? If I would’ve done that so many years ago. I hope this snowblower works, my back is hurting from shoveling yesterday! Am I stuck here at this job or…? (you fill in the blank) And so on and so on.. Those thoughts of fear try to dominate your mind. Making you feel like you can’t move ahead.   As if we’re stuck in some mental quicksand. But we can get out of that mental quicksand with actions of Faith. We have to remember to keep moving with Actions of Faith. That’s the only way to ...

THOUGHT: YOU CAN'T SEE ME

Hello, Everyone.  donovin  here, with today's thought:   THOUGHT: You can't SEE ME  Everyone has a "gimmick"  or a "Brand" that is personally who they are, or at least the image they represent to you. You come to know them from what you see on the 'outside' and even appreciate them for it. People get used to what you show them and used to your current level of character and integrity.  ( Picture from Google.com )   But what if you want to change that? What if you have the desire to grow into more? To be better than you are perceived now? And the battle starts... In your soul, In your relationship with other people, and With God. What He is calling you to be. In your Soul   - Ever had the thought to change something in you for the better? Get rid of a bad habit. Go for a better position on your job. Being honest in your life? In your Relationships with other people - Do you set boundaries with other people? Do you let other peoples opinions con...

THOUGHT: OFF Course

   Hello, Everyone.  donovin  here, with today's thought: THOUGHT: OFF Course     If I have to sum up this year, the word OFF comes to mind. 2020 has been a year of off course proportions! The last quarter of the year I usually start to reflect on where I am and where I want to go. Make the plans in prayer and get ready for what I think is coming. This year I didn't expect Covid 19, The passing of  Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman and one of my aunts, For the sake of time I will not add a list of things that have surprisingly knocked me off this year. Winter is hard for me. A lot of loved ones have passed away over the years between October and December. I can't talk to them or see them physically anymore and it hurts. There can even a sadness or depression about it, if I let it. So with that normal baggage and the new baggage from 2020, I've felt off. In the last blog, It Seems Like Nothing Is Happening...but Something is Getting Done.  I shared ab...
